There are some things you can do to make your appointment as effective as possible.

  • Make a list of any questions you have
  • Write down any symptoms you’ve been having and note how long they’ve been bothering you
  • Write down your medical history and include information even if it seems unrelated to the current condition
  • Make a list of all your prescription and over-the-counter medications
  • Note any important personal information that may be pertinent to your condition
  • Describe any injuries, incidents, or environmental factors that may have contributed to your condition
  • Consider taking someone along to your appointment to help you remember or take notes about what is discussed
  • Bring any lab or diagnostic reports from other health care professionals
  • Bring the names of any other doctors you would like to receive information on evaluation and your progress
  • Find out ahead of time what type of clothing you should wear to your appointment

Be prepared to answer a lot of questions about your health, your condition, your lifestyle and your environment. Your Physical Therapist will perform a detailed examination, assessing your strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, posture, and heart rate. Then he or she will evaluate your movement such as how you walk, how you get up and down from a lying or sitting position, and how you use your body for bending and lifting. After the evaluation you and your Physical Therapist will work together to set your goals for physical therapy and begin to create a treatment plan.

Physical therapy Dyer IN can vastly improve your quality of life. It is very effective in restoring or improving mobility, and can also help reduce pain and the need for pain medication. Physical therapy can also help patients avoid surgery in some cases.
